Skirt Season

I could not be happier that skirt season has finally arrived. 

I re-discovered this skirt last week when searching for my blue J.Crew skirt. Warm weather + skirts = the perfect combination. I noticed that I've been wearing skirts daily for the past week or so and can't wait to continue the trend over the next few months. I am partial to skirts lately as I feel they have more versatility than dresses. I enjoy pairing them with different tops and getting completely different looks.  While, the ease of dresses is hard to pass up, I definitely think I've become a skirt girl.

What about you? Do you prefer skirts or dresses?

Kirna Zabete for Target

Lately I have been very intrigued by the collections coming out of Target. (I am currently anticipating the collaboration with Neiman Marcus that comes out on December 1st.) When I first saw the Kirna Zabete collection at Target, I fell in love. I wanted to buy so many of the pieces because they were so bright and cheerful, yet so affordable! I held off for a few weeks because any routine Target shopper knows that everything goes on sale quickly. 

So, this past weekend, while picking up a few groceries, I stopped by the clearance section in Target. What a goldmine! All of the pieces I fell in love with weeks ago were up to 50% off! I grabbed this skirt in my size and knew I scored! I love this skirt so much and think it may be one of my new favorites! The color is perfect and it amazingly comfortable! I could not be happier with this purchase.

Also, with the crummy weather outside, I have been reading a lot of blog posts about taking indoor photos. I took a stab at some this morning but am not overly impressed with how they turned out. Do you have any secrets to indoor photography? I would love to hear your tips!

Chambray Dress-up

Top: Banana Republic  Skirt: H&M Similar Style  Shoes: Jessica Simpson  Sunglasses: Ray- Ban  Necklace: Stella and Dot  Brooch: White House Black Market Similar Style

Since I started my new job, I have been trying to think of ways to dress up a chambray shirt for the workplace. I also have been wanting to pair a necklace with a brooch. Today seemed like a good day for combining all of the above. At first I thought it might be a little over the top, but for some reason I loved the random brooch with the black skirt. By the end of the day, I really loved this outfit. I cannot wait to experiment with more creative fashion ideas soon.

What do you think? Is this outfit too much?

With humidity soaring and the heat index expected to be over 100 today, a skirt was a necessity this morning. I remembered this skirt tucked away in my closet and forgot how much I love it. I bought it after seeing Michelle Obama speak at the Capitol Visitor Center when I worked on Capitol Hill. She had a skirt just like this and I went on a mission to find one. I was so excited when I found this one at Ann Taylor. This skirt has so many memories-- I just love it!
